The mayor suggested that staff also do 90 <br />some preliminary work on Site Five through working with the property owner. 91 <br /> 92 <br />5. Target Remodeling Project - Public Safety Director Swenson reviewed his 93 <br />written staff report outlining a situation whereby the remodeling work being done at the 94 <br />Target facility in the city has resulted in complaints due to work being outside the hours 95 <br />allowed in city ordinance. Those complaints were addressed after the Public Safety 96 <br />Department became involved. The contractors for the project are now requesting 97 <br />permission to do work outside allowed hours based on the need to do that work when the 98 <br />store is unoccupied. Director Swenson pointed out the potential options included in the 99 <br />report. 100 <br /> 101 <br />Representatives of Ryan Construction, the contractor, pointed out the safety element 102 <br />involved in using the crane that is required for the work; it cannot be accomplished safety 103 <br />with people in or around the store. They noted the communication they have attempted 104 <br />with the area residents. The contractor representatives said they are open to a schedule 105 <br />anytime when the store is not open. The work needed represents two three hours jobs. 106 <br /> 107 <br />The mayor suggested that good communication with the residents in the area about this 108 <br />required work would go a long way. 109 <br /> 110 <br />Director Swenson suggested that staff could draft a resolution for council consideration 111 <br />that includes a requirement to communicate with the residents, allows the work, and 112 <br />provides direction for the public safety department on the matter. The council 113 <br />concurred that they would consider such a resolution at their next regular meeting on 114 <br />February 12, 2018. 115 <br /> 116 <br />4. White Bear Lake Lawsuit Court Order - Community Development Director 117 <br />Grochala reviewed his written staff report and the outcome of the court action relative to 118 <br />the lawsuit of the White Bear Lake Restoration Association. He reviewed several 119 <br />conditions that are expected to be placed upon certain cities by the DNR relative to Water 120 <br />Appropriation Permits. The mayor expressed concern that the City should be impacted 121 <br />with conditions when it clearly lies downstream from White Bear Lake in the watershed. 122 <br /> 123 <br />Mr. Grochala outlined the DNR’s continuing work to clarify the conditions and explained 124 <br />what staff believes would be the impact and obligations that affect the City should the 125 <br />WBL reach the determined mark. The council heard about the court reviews that are 126 <br />ahead and possible outcomes. The council heard options that staff has identified should 127 <br />conditions come into place.
